    <h1>Identify features on the map</h1>
    
    <p>If you want to know about a feature on the map, you
        can get more information about it using the Identify tool 
        <img alt="Identify tool" src="../images/identify.png" 
        style="vertical-align: middle" />.</p>
        
    <h4>To identify a feature</h4>
    
    <ol>
        <li>In the <a href="ToolReference.htm">Toolbar</a>,
            click the Identify button
            <img src="../images/identify.png" 
            alt="Identify tool" style="vertical-align:middle" />.
            The button changes to a light background 
            to indicate it is the active tool
            <img src="../images/identify.png" 
                style="background-color:white; vertical-align:middle"
                alt="Identify tool - selected" />.
            (If no Identify button is visible, then the Identify
            function is not available in this application.)</li>
        <li>Click on the feature you want to identify. An identify
            icon <img src="../images/identify-map-icon.png"
            style="vertical-align:middle;" alt="Map icon for identify" />
            will be placed on the map at the location clicked. 
            A callout label will also be placed near the 
            location, with the name of the feature found, if any.<br />
            <img src="images/identify_click.png" alt="Identify callout label" />
            </li>
        <li>To view details (attributes) for the feature, click the 
            gray down-arrow at the right side of the callout label.
            This expands the callout box to show the attributes
            of the feature, as well as the layer name, and 
            an option to add to results (see below).<br />
            <img src="images/identify_detail.png"
            alt="Identify detail" />.</li>
        <li>Multiple features may be found at the location clicked.
            To see the other features, hover the cursor over
            the name of the feature in the identify callout.
            The name will change to a drop-down list appearance:<br />
            <img src="images/identify_mult.png" 
            alt="Identify callout with multiple features" /><br />
            Click the drop-down arrow to see the other feature names,
            if any. Click the other feature to see its details
            in the callout label box.
            </li>
        <li>If you want to keep this identify result for later
            use, click the drop-down button on the right side of
            the callout label, and choose <strong>
            Add to Results</strong> (see graphic above). After a few
            moments, an entry for the location should appear in
            the <b>Results</b> section of the 
            <a href="GettingStarted.htm#Console">Console</a>. 
            The Location will 
            display the coordinates of the location clicked.
            See <a href="UsingResults.htm">Using Results</a> for more on
            working with features in the Results window.</li>
        <li>To close the identify callout box that appears on the map,
            click the close button 
            <span style="position:relative; width:23px; height:24px;">
            <span style="clip:rect(5px 263px 29px 240px); position:absolute; 
             top:-10px; left:-240px;">
            <img src="images/identify_mult.png" alt="Identify close button"
             style="" /></span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            on its upper right. The identify callout will also 
            be dismissed when the map zooms or pans.</li>
    </ol>
